MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) -- Michael Shewman won't be cleaning up with his vacuum cleaner.

He's been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pretending that a vacuum cleaner attachment was a gun.

Authorities say Shewman admits to robbing a Village Pantry and Mutual Federal Savings Bank in Muncie, Indiana, last July.

He's pleaded guilty to two counts of armed robbery, the weapon being the vacuum cleaner nozzle.

I'm sure one of his cellmates will show him his upright and give him the hose.

As far as my dog is concerned, any part of a vacuum cleaner is far scarier than a gun.
